Subject: Sweet Saratoga!
Rad, 34 years ago today! This source is nice (as is the Wise...). What can you say, this one was super fun, even with some of the equipment issues in 1st and flubs. SPAC is a great venue and this was the best of the shows here really (84-85 great too, but crowd much smaller in 83).
And yes, Morning Dew was and still is unbelievable.

It's one of those shows... we all have them in our listening library. 1st set is ok did not send chills up my spine, 2nd though. Everything about the 2nd set is awesome to me. The Dew and the Scarlet Fire get a lot of comments along with the storm during the show. Something I have not heard many speak of is this Playin. This is a real Playin in the Band , I mean 18 minutes on a cold rainy late spring night in June. The boys could of cut it short but no they jam the heck out of it.

i believe this is the best source for the second set. great levels and much less up close crowd noise ala wises' source. i just cant say enough about this show. call me naive but if the opportunity presented itself and i could transport thru time/space to any show any time it would be 6/18/83 SPAC - thank you to all involved with this recording and tranfer. 1983 is an underrated year, just my opinion tho listen for yourself

Subject: First rate second set
After a rainy afternoon, the clouds parted for a gassed-to-go band o' bros, who wailed. wailed, second set, through Scarlet, loud, strong, Phil bombing, Jer singing loud, drums strong,,,, into Fire, sexy and wild, everybody melding and melting....

And who can forget the lightning overhead, left over from the stormy day, during The Wheel, "If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will!" You hear the crowd responding.

Incredibly soulful Morning Dew, the best ever. Rolling and mournful, deadly good. OMG.
